US says it has specific warning of a terror attack in Aqaba
The United States embassy in Amman, Jordan says that it has specific warnings about a terror attack in the southern Jordanian city of Aqaba in the next 48 hours, and is urging American citizens to stay away. Aqaba is across from Eilat and was hit by rockets fired by Hamas operatives in Sinai last month. The embassy said Wednesday it has received "credible information" of a potential terrorist attack in the Gulf of Aqaba region. It provided no details and embassy officials declined comment.Hmmm.
Jordanian security officials said they had no information of a pending attack.
The embassy recommended Americans delay all nonofficial and personal travel to Aqaba for "at least the next 48 hours."
It also urged Americans living in Aqaba to avoid the downtown and port areas.
